Apple is going full cost cutting on this gen. Can't see how this is going to help with their sales number next quarter, their bestseller refresh (M3 MBA) is scheduled for spring/summer 24. Pros are either going to hold on their M2 Pro MBP, and M1 users are going to look for deals on the M2 Pro MBPs. M3 Pro is gonna tank hard.

I find Carmack incredibly arrogant to assume the he alone will be able to solve AGI. I mean the guy is a good programmer, no question about it, but let's get real: his major credentials come from having built 3d game engines, which by today's standards are quite primitive. His work at Facebook / Meta is meh at the most, the Quest didn't revolutionize VR by any means. Becoming rich from the sale of Id to Zenimax is not proof of genius. I admire his achievements, but I think he's way overrated.

Without crypto currency and exchanges, there is no incentive to run nodes, thus the blockchain is a ponzi scheme

Blockchain is the Ponzi pyramid that wants to eat the world.
